The point I'd like to make is that there is
almost always something you can do to make your situation better.
Having preps should be comforting and free your mind (at least partially) when things get bad.
Focus on putting away things that are critical to your survival. Something a lot of "survivalists" don't consider is that being debt free is a great way to enter a worsening economy.
My priorities are:
1. knowledge
2. Water (at least a reliable purification method)
3. Food
4. Guns and ammo
5. Cash
6. Barter goods
To me, knowledge is the most important because what I know isn't dependent on the things I own. Just buying a ton of stuff can make me marginally safer, but I'd rather know things than own things. Owning proper tools is simply a great way to make important tasks easier.
